Overview

A quiet town reels as Lumen's Pizzeria reopens, drawing families and thrill-seekers. The centerpiece is a yellow animatronic rabbit, Auric Hare, now corrupted by a lingering nightmare. The party is hired to investigate haunting reports, protect locals during the first nights, and finally end the curse that binds the pizzeria to the shadows.

Setting & Locations

Quietvale sits on a ley-line seam, its carnival memories stitched to a fading industrial district. Key locations:
- Lumen's Pizzeria: kitchen, stage, private booths, and a back hall of rusted gears.
- The Basement of Echoes: ritual chamber and engine room where the nightmare begins to gather power.
- The Clockwork Arcade: enchanted games that trap memories and lure adventurers into difficult puzzles.
- Moonlit Theater: a ritual site where the relics and the final rite take place.
- The Old Orphanage: origin of the Hare’s sorrow, a place that should be avoided—yet holds essential clues.

The Boss & Main Quest

The party must survive a sequence of Nights, uncover the origin of Auric Hare, and collect three relics: Lantern of Dawn (pierces lies), Heart of Echoes (calls back lost souls), and Veil of Quietus (binds night-entities). The relics are used at the Moonlit Theater to confront Auric Hare, banish the curse, and free the tormented.

Side Quest & Hooks

• Missing staff mystery: uncover who sabotaged the reopening and why, offering a bargaining chip with a sympathetic animatronic ally.


• A rescued soul offers one-time aid or information if the party frees them from an enchanted cage.


• Rumors of a rival proprietor seeking to weaponize the relics.

Central Events & Triggers

Power outages at midnight amplify fear; Auric Hare harvests fear and summons lesser constructs and phantoms. Dream-visions reveal its origin as a failed experiment and broken promise. Speaking ritual words at the rite sequence unlocks relic powers and path to confrontation.

Challenges & Rewards

Navigate a haunted kitchen, solve memory puzzles in the Clockwork Arcade, and endure agile, lethal boss phases. Rewards include magic items tied to the relics, a loyal animatronic ally, and boons that grant light, courage, and protection against nightmares.

Main Objectives

Uncover the truth behind Auric Hare, secure the relics, cleanse the pizzeria, and free Quietvale from the haunting that plagues it.
